Hello everyone,
I appreciate if someone can point me in the right direction and write
down for me some book or article references that invalidate the
grandmother/gnostic cells theory.
I ran a search on PubMed and the only new relevant article that came up
was the "Genealogy of the Grandmother Cell" by Charles G Gross.
I have a background in computer science and I have been studying
neuroscience by myself for a couple of years now.
Unfortunately some of the arguments presented in there in favor of
having a piece of information represented as an ensemble of cells seem
to me that they actually give credit to the gnostic cell theory. Like
this argument: "Even the most selective face cells usually also
discharge, if more weakly, to a variety of individual faces".
Most of the other books and articles I have read don't deal with this
theory at all so I assume that perhaps it was invalidated some time
ago.
Thanks in advance.
